NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 21, 1906.

Application filed September 27. 1906. Serial No. 230.290.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GrmnLEs .IIAENNER, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNon-Refillable Bottles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in non-refillable bottles.

The object of this invention is to provide a bottle of this characterwhich can be cheaply manufactured and easily assembled and. which willhave such an arrangement of parts that while the contents can be readilywithdrawn nothing can be intrmluccd into the bottle after it has leftthe hands of the party who originally placed the contents in the bottle.

My invention therefore consists in )roviding in the neck of the bottle apair 0 valves arranged to rest upon separate valve-seats and operateonly in one direction and so arranged that each valve will assist toreseat the other valve, but the unseating of one valve will notnecessarily unseat the other valve.

My invention also consists in the features of construction andcombination of parts as shown in their preferred form in the drawings,described in the specification, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central section of a bottleembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3is a section on line 8 3, Fig. 1.

Again referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body of the bottle,which can be made in any preferred form or shape, and 2 represents theneck portion, in the chamber of which is formed an annular groove 3.Within the neck of the bottle is arranged a cylinder 4, which isprovided at the top with a perforated cap 5, formed integral therewith.Around the upper end of the cylinder 4 is formed an annular groove 6,arranged to register with the annular groove 3, formed in the neck.Cement or similar material 7 is arranged in the said grooves 3 and 6 andforms a lock for securing the said cylinder in the neck of the bottle.In the lower end of the cylinder 4 is screwed a cylinder 8, on the uppersurface of which is formed a seat 9, provided with an annular ridge orflange 10. A valve 11 is arranged to rest on the valve-seat 9, and inthe under surface of the valve 11 is formed an annular groove 12,arranged to receive the annular ridge 10. The valve 11 is provided witha downwardly-extending hollow stem 13. In the lower part of the cylinder8 is arranged a second valve-seat 15, and a flat disk valve 16 isarranged to rest on said seat 15. The valve 16 is provided with aslender stem 17, which extends up into the hollow stem 13 of the valve11'. Within the cylinder 4 above the valve 11 is arranged a guard 18,and the distance of the guard 18 above the valve-scat 9 is less than thelength of the hollow valve-stem 13 of the valve 11, so that the StPll'lwill never leave the opening in the valve-scat. The stem 17 of the valve16 is made long enough so that it will always remain in the stem 13, andthe object of this arrangement is to insure the rcscating of the valvesafter the bottle has been tipped by preventing the valves from reversingthemselves or resting edgewise on the seat 15.

It will readily be seen that the construction of my non-reiillahlcbottle is extremely simple, as the guard portion thereof can be madeentirely separate cither of metal or any preferred material and theninserted into the neck of any ordinary bottle having a neck of theproper dimensions to receive it. Moreover, it will be absolutelyimpossible to refill this bottle, for even if the top valve is liftedthe bottom valve will remain on the seat, while the top valve willalways cut oil access to the bottom valve. l urthermore, if an attemptis made to rciiill the bottle by a liquid under pressure the pressure ofthe liquid will cause the light disk valve 16 to seat itself, and themore pressure that is exerted the firmer it will remain on the scat.

What I claim is 1. In an article of the character indicated thecon'ibination of a bottle, a valve-seat ar ranged in the neck of thebottle, a valve arranged on said valve-sea t and having a hollow stemextending downwardly therefrom, a second valve-scat Formed below theiirst mentioned valve-scat, a valve arranged on said last-mentionedvalve-scat and provided with a stem which extends up into thefirstmentioned valve-stein and means for limitin the movement of thefirst-mentionml va ve, substantailly as described and f or the purposeset forth.

2. In an article of the character indicated 5 said valveseat and 15arranged in said the combination of a bottle, a guard arranged in theneck of said bottle, a valve-seat formed below said guard having anannular ridge on its upper surface, a valve arranged to rest on providedwith a groove to receive the ridge on said valveseat, said valve beinprovided with a stern arranged. to extend r own through the opening insaid valve-seat, said stem having a greater length to than the distancebetween said guard and said a cylinder secured to the lower end of thefirst-mentioned cylinder, a valve-seat formed in said last-mentionedcylinder at its upper end, a valve arranged to rest on said valveseatand having a hollow stein extending downwardly therefrom, a valve-so atarranged in the lower end of said last-mentioned cylinder and a valvearranged to rest on said last-mentioned valve-seat and provided with astern extending up into the stem on the first-mentioned valve,substantially described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I sign the foregoing specification in the presenceof two witnesses.
